He’s turned it around nicely.   The A’s aren’t exactly the ‘27 Yankees, either.  

Would Brent Rooker be on the trade block?  Not that I think the Orioles can fit him in.

If we travel back a year ago there were quite a few people questioning Gunnar’s ability to hit LHP and wondering if he’d need to platooned. 

It's an unfair comp, imo. Henderson is a different animal and simply saying Gunnar struggled, Cowser will be fine isn't fair.

The Oakland broadcasters seem to be talking more about Jerry Garcia than the game

I'd be more interested if they were talking about Kiko Garcia.

Some of you bammas were all like “Omg Suarez is done, he needs to go to the bullpen” and all I see is a dude who’s cruising. 

Yup, and he threw a really good FB outer third for a strike to Gelof, so good command.

    • I think they are very flawed. They are the fastest team to promote high level prospects. Makes me think every prospect it Ben Macdonald type development there.
    • One wonders knowing what we know now how LAA won the original Ohtani competition.     Was it just as simple as the unique opportunity to test yourself with Mike Trout everyday, plus that org being the one to yield to letting him do what he wanted to do? It is a gift for the game he got the chance, and not a case he had to worry about making in Contract2. Reid Detmers career development was just roadkill as a flawed organization desperately tried to keep it okay for the golden goose.    Fortunate for us they needed Dylan Bundy's immediate help and would invest Kyle Bradish's future potential to bolster those couple years teams.
    • But is his defense better than Norby's?
    • I never learned what that means, but I’m expecting that Skubal does not get traded and we do acquire Kikuchi, because he’s just the kind of mediocrity that Mike chooses to buy
    • Jordan Westburg just finished game 162 of his career last night at age 25 and 157 days.  He already has one all-star appearance and his offensive numbers are similar to Gunnar's first 162 (obviously, Gunnar was several years younger).  MLB debut - June 26, 2023 (age - 24 and 128 days).  Best game - I am going with April 10, 2024, where he went 2-3 with 1 2b, 1 hr, 3 rbi, and a hbp.  In that game, Westburg went deep off Chris Martin in the 7th inn, 2 on, 2 outs to deep CF, propelling the O's to a 7-5 win over Boston. rWAR - 3.5 fWAR - 3.7                                          
    • Yeah sorry. I don’t know how to cut Twitter feeds but it was quoted by Melewski. The question was do the Orioles looks to AAA for help?     Hyde: "We’re in first place. To get younger, I don’t know. The roster questions are more directed to Mike. We have conversations about our roster constantly but we’ll see what happens here at the deadline too. Lot cld happen this week."
    • The Dodgers won 104 games very recently. They also lost 16  of 17 games in one stretch.I'm not comparing the two situations, but I will say, every team goes through struggles, and hopefully we will add some depth to the pitching and try a new lineup next week. A lineup that will include Coby Mayo. And others on the mound. Maybe that will change things. I hope I'm right.
